dillo ===> superfast but no unicode support. I love it !
xxxterm ===> BSD-spirit , promising but still in early developement stages. I love it !
Elinks/lynx/links ===> fast but 'anti-graphic' . unavoidable !
opera ===> fast enough +useful features/widgets , but closed source, sadly . I use it.
chromium ===> insecure and privacy enemy ! I avoid google's pandora's boxes.
w3m ===> text-based +tables & frames rendering
conkeror ===> for keyboard-lovers & mouse-haters .. ion users ..
Arora ?
Konqueror (kde) ?
epiphany (gnome) ?
Firefox is most popular with many useful addons and extensions but the more you install some the more it gets slower.
Finally , Many thanks to the OpenBSD Team for offering us such a variety of web browsers to be used on their wonderful OS !!!

hi @hitest !
I've just installed seamonkey & it seems faster than firefox and you can still enjoy addons etc

Yes. When Seamonkey is up and running it is very responsive. However, for me Seamonkey uses far more system resources on my old OpenBSD 5.1 box than FF. When I run Seamonkey my CPU use, according to top, is very high compared to FF.
I am happy to hear that Seamonkey meets your needs.

After having dug through above recommendations: Is there (meanwhile) something like Dillo (great browser, actually) with HTML5 support? Even DuckDuckGo is displayed horribly wrong.

Dillo is a third party package and is not affiliated to OpenBSD in any shape or form. Whatever latest stable release Dillo supports should work on OpenBSD. I would be very, very surprised that Dillo supports HTML5 or anything beyond HTML 4.01 for that matter.

As the person who maintains the Dillo port on OpenBSD, I can tell you that I track upstream very closely and I try to get updates into the tree asap. If someone has a problem with Dillo on OpenBSD, you should get in contact with me.

With that said...

I really like NetSurf. They're only starting their HTML5 work but I use it as my primary browser on my OpenBSD/loongson machines and it's a pleasure to work with. Unfortunately, it suffers from some graphical endian bugs so you can only use it on little endian machines. I find it a much better experience over Dillo. It's also a really great project for someone looking to do some dev work. All you need is some C knowledge.
